Japan's Nuclear Crisis Still Continues

Owners of the Fukushima Daiichi power plant stated today, that it could take six to nine more months to subside the already damaged nuclear reactors. It will take about three months alone just to reduce the levels of plant radioactivity and for cooling systems in the reactors to return to normal. From that point, it will take another three to six months for the reactors to fully shut down and for the new shells to be built around their destroyed housings. Thousands of nearby residents have already been forced to leave their homes, but a primitive timetable is currently being developed to determine when the residents will be able to return home. The struggle initially began on March 11, when 45 foot tidal waves from the tsunami destroyed the plant. The tsunami was the aftermath of the record setting Japanese earthquake.
